HTML

HTML is a language for describing web pages.

       HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language

 

       HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language

       A markup language is a set of markup tags

 

       HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages

 

HTML Tags

HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags

       HTML tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets like <html>

       HTML tags normally come in pairs like <b> and </b>

 

       The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag

       Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags

 

The purpose of a web browser (like Internet Explorer or Firefox) is to read HTML documents and display them as web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of the page.

 

Examples:

<html>

<body>

 

<h1>My First Heading</h1> <p>My first paragraph.</p> </body> </html>

 

1. HTML Headings

 

HTML headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags. <h1>This is a heading</h1>

 

<h2>This is a heading</h2> 2. HTML Paragraphs

 

HTML paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag. <p>This is a paragraph.</p>

 

<p>This is another paragraph.</p> 3. HTML Links

HTML links are defined with the <a> tag.

 

<a href="http://www.internetprogramming.com">This is a link</a> 4. HTML Images

 

HTML images are defined with the <img> tag. <img src="ip.jpg" width="154" height="182" />
